Do you trust your spouse?

Trust is a key ingredient to any healthy relationship.  I believe that a lack of trust is a big part of  many disagreements in marriage.  So here are a few scenerios for thought.

When your spouse uses money in a way that you feel they shouldn't, do you trust them?

When your spouse says something that feels unloving, do you trust that they really do love you and just mispoke?

When your spouse tells you that they are working on improving a character flaw, do you patiently trust and encourage them?

Do you trust your spouse when they:  go to the mall, train your children, talk to other people, are at work, say they need a break?

It becomes even more difficult to regain trust when you spouse has proven themself to be untrustworthy.  Are you willing to be gracious and forgiving help them grow instead of treating them like they will never change?

What are your thoughts about the role that trust plays in a marriage?

Thanks for reminding us that trust in the everyday, little things in life can have a huge impact on the health of a marriage.
